Chapter 141 Unspoken Realizations
Thinking about it, Dalton suddenly felt relief.
“So, it was true. Meryl and Chandler didn’t have feelings for each other. They were just in a marriage of convenience.
Meryl married Chandler to spite me.
But why did Chandler marry Meryl?
A man like Chandler, who had never shown interest in women for over twenty years, suddenly got married to Meryl. It couldn’t be for love.
There had to be some hidden reason.
Could it be that Chandler was pressured into marriage by
Robert?
Yes, that must be it.
Chandler was already twenty–nine, so he probably got tired of the nagging and just married Meryl out of convenience.
They were in it for mutual benefit, nothing more.” thought Dalton.
Billy felt like something was off.

He quickly reviewed everything that had happened recently in his mind.
“Dalton used to not care about Meryl at all, treating her like she was invisible. But now, he was overly concerned with everything about her.
He was even wholly ignoring Lydia, whom he had just married.
It was all too strange.”
Billy had a bold guess. “Dalton actually cared about Meryl, maybe even had feelings for her that he hadn’t realized.
When Meryl had called me earlier, she had sounded rather cold.
What was it she had repeated?”
When she spoke, Meryl said, “Billy, Dalton’s about to die.”
That opening had scared Billy half to death, and he had quickly asked what was going on.
Meryl’s voice had been icy, and even through the phone, Billy could imagine her expressionless face.
“You’ll see when you get here.” she had said.
Then, she hung up and sent him the address.
Her attitude had made it clear. Meryl was eager to get rid of Dalton like she was trying to shake off a stubborn nuisance.”
Billy thought.
Billy really didn’t think Meryl had any lingering feelings for Dalton.
But now, looking at Dalton like this, Billy wasn’t sure if he should tell him the truth.
If he did, Dalton definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.
By evening, Chandler’s car pulled up to the apartment.
Meryl had already packed up all her belongings.
Chandler lifted her luggage with one hand and placed it in the
trunk.
As the car drove for a while, Meryl noticed they weren’t heading. towards their previous residence.
She looked at Chandler with confusion. “Where are we going?”
“To a bigger place.”
Chandler had clearly planned everything, and Meryl nodded compliantly.
About half an hour later, the car arrived at a high–end villa.
A large garden greeted them at the entrance, meticulously maintained by gardeners. The fragrance of flowers was evident even from afar.

The house was spacious and decorated in Chandler’s usual style. Meryl guessed that Chandler had lived there even before their marriage.
But aside from the security guard at the entrance, there was no one else in sight.
“Did he live in such a big house all by himself?”
Meryl thought about Chandler’s past and couldn’t help but feel that he seemed rather lonely.
“Abandoned by his family as a child, living in a shack for over a decade.” thought Meryl.
“There are housekeepers who come to clean regularly. You won’t have to do any chores.”
Chandler’s voice interrupted Meryl’s thoughts. “I’ve had the household supplies stocked up. If you find anything missing, I’ll take you to buy it.”
Meryl nodded, changed into slippers at the entrance, and walked inside.
Feeling a bit uneasy in this unfamiliar place, she looked around.
“The bedrooms are upstairs. You can go take a look.” Chandler said as he poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser.
He drank one, and when he turned to offer the other to Meryl,
Chapter 141 Unspoken Realizations she had already gone upstairs.

Chandler smiled and followed her up.
There were three rooms on the second floor, one of which was a study.
Meryl walked into a room filled with roses and candles, and she froze in place.
